Valentines Day minis! | Ky childrens photographer

Check out the flyer below for Valentines Day Mini Session info. There is no set date for these and I will be taking appointments for them throughout the month of Jan. I have used my own girls in my samples but cards, and bookmarks are also available in other colors. A sample bookmark that would be a useful card for your kiddos to hand out to their friends! These can be added on to any package.

A 5x7 Card. These can also be added on to any package.

And a sample of wallet sized cards that come with the first package.

Happy New Year!!

Well hello everyone! I have officially been missing for a few weeks! The excitement of Christmas and the rush to get orders edited and filled for the holidays left me no time for blogging! So I will be revisiting a few sessions that have not yet been blogged. You may have seen a sneak or two of these on my facebook, and if not you should really join my facebook page... ;)

These three adorable kiddos had some Christmas made! Mom had them dressed so cute, and they seriously know how to sport the style! Little Man here was so stinkin cute, and he is missing a few teeth, which was oh so adorable in pics! I loved that, but he was not thrilled about showcasing his lack of teeth, so I would not dare share the precious toothless grin with you. You are just going to have to trust me that it was adorable!

While I have you here I want to let you know that I have BIG plans for 2011. Starting now in Jan with some Valentines day mini sessions that will not only get you some cute, custom images, but you will also have the chance to give back just by purchasing the mini session! (details in a couple days) In March we will have a March Madness mini session (hint hint) I also have plans to keep up with my newsletter so if you are not on that list and would like to be just send me a e-mail to katie@katielousphotography.com so I can add you to that list!

Oh the faces he makes! | Ky on location photographer

This little 1 year old birthday boy was the cutest! I love all his little facial expressions! I usually share a lot of b&w but the colors outside are already turning and I had to share them!

We tried a little cake smash at the end of his session, but 1 little taste was all he wanted! I thought about sitting down and eating cake with him, but I wasn't sure how well that would go over! ;)

Happy Birthday big boy!

I do have just a few dates left for Oct fall sessions, and some left for Nov. e-mail at katie@katielousphotography.com to book to take advantage of the awesome fall colors. Remember fall /holiday mini session are on Oct 15th, and I have a couple of those left. They are geared towards getting you some awesome images that you can use as gifts and cards! I will also be taking the itty bitty mini, Halloween costume shots on that same date. Happy fall!

Sweetest bee ever! | Ky childrens photographer

I was so excited to be able to photograph little Miss A. Her Mom and Dad are old (not calling you guys old) college friends of my husbands, and I was tickled when they drove down from Lexington for A's 6 month session.

I loved her little Halloween costume, and she was seriously the cutest bee I have ever seen! So when her Dad called to make the appointment he did not give me his name at first. He just asked if he could set up a session for his bulldogs. And I was falling for it hook, line, and sinker. Then he asked if we could dress the dogs up. I asked for his e-mail and even though his e-mail address had his name it I STILL didn't catch on. Lol. So, I'm going to say she is most definitely making a "daddy" face in the last picture. He he.

Enjoy guys! You are truley blessed with a beautiful daughter!

Blessings | Ky family photographer

This is the sweet, and seriously cute, Merrick family. I had the privilege of getting to meet and photograph them after we were paired together through Littlest Hero's. Boy was it hot the day of our session!

They have three beautiful daughters. The oldest M was a great little helper giving me all kinds of awesome suggestions for pictures. ;) O. had so many adorable facial expressions, and I think I caught about 10 different expressions on camera! Both girls were a absolute delight to work with!

Miss Gabby, their youngest daughter, is their Littlest Hero. Gabby was born with Down Syndrome and Av canal defect. After open heart surgery at 4 months old, little Gabby had some complications and, her parents and sisters had to say goodbye to her. Gabby loved to smile, hold her toys, listen to her sisters sing, and take naps with the cats who would curl up on the bed next to her.

Mom wants you to know that Down Syndrome is not the scary thing that people think it is. A little paragraph from Mom's blog speaks it best....

"The phone rang and I heard the words, "Your baby has Down syndrome." Life changed. At first, I thought it was changing for the worse. Now, I know what a blessing those words were. I will FOREVER be the mother of a child with Down syndrome, and I believe that is a blessing. "

I agree. I never even meet Gabby and she has been a blessing to me as well.

Thank you Merrick family for sharing all 3 of your beautiful daughters with me!

Miss Gabby.

At the end of our session the girls released 1 purple balloon to Miss Gabby. I won't lie, I had a few tears as we all watched the balloon float out of sight.

Blanton babies!!

Warning! Cute kiddos ahead! Meet my adorable niece and nephew. I know, I know, they are cute!! I had a hard time picking a few to post on my blog. In fact little Miss A had a whole different outfit we photographed her in, which was darling, I just ran out of room to post those pictures! I did end up adding a close up of her in her little hat though.

Remember, if you want to see the pics a litle bigger, just give them a click! Enjoy!
